For those spontaneous moments, delve into chapters on 'Shift,' 'In The Groove,' and 'By the Numbers,' where you'll learn to create astonishing effects with books completely unknown to you, proving your mental prowess under any circumstances.
An Arsenal of Variations for Every Occasion
Beyond the core methods, this ebook is packed with an astounding number of variations for each technique. This ensures that you're not just learning a trick, but a complete arsenal of adaptable effects.
